Configuring the best ventilation for my grow area LOTS OF PICS! Come take a look!

smartguy345 · #1 10-22-2009, 07:24 PM

Ok well currently I have my fan, pic below to show you. Which is a 8 inch with 6 inch flange adapter on it. I now have it hooked upstairs in attic sucking air from the 400 w cool tube and the exhaust of my portable a/c unit.

Yes folks, I rigged my a/c unit exhaust to the other side of cool tube. It is not humid, and much better as the window was not a option. I was concerned about the negative force created from the fan to the exhaust, but I felt by the time it reached the a/c unit it would not do any harm to it. It seems to take it very well as the heat quickly escapes and it pushes air even more so helping the fan. Anyways, I found it to really help and temps are ideally...well I never had this much control with both my lights on and not having a heat issue. If anything, I have to make sure it does not get to cold! lol....

Well I am trying to keep in mind is down the road, I want to have a grow tent for a flower room, apx 4X4X7.5 , with a 1000w hps cool tube. I also which I already own a carbon filter and I plan on using that soon , when my plants go into flower...I want to make sure I have a plan and a really good one to optimize space, cost, and effectivness.

The question is whats the best way to set this up? I included below all the current pics I have taken to show how i have currently set up.

I am guessing I am going to need another fan, and if that is the case, I rather get something of decent size to cope with the long ventilation tubing and weird angles that cut the airflow.

they have alot of options out there, but I just dont want to think of it myself, then overlook a easier and much cheaper way... and say why did I do that?

Still debatin on my lights but I want some decent lightin ffor my flower room, seeing how it can affect yield. I might even go with 2 600 or 2 400 watts instead of just 1 1000w...

Thanks... the plants are in my grow journals in my sig... both are active.. still early in there stages.... however I am trying to tweak my set up and cut back on unneccessary expenses by only buying what I need. Still need to figure out best way to hook up my carbon filter, as smell will be a big issue.

Cool thanks, but I already have a professional one that I bought, but will keep that in mind for future reference. So I already have a filter I just dont know whats best way to hook it up.

I say that because I have to worry about my a/c exhaust and light exhaust. So whereever I have exhaust going to I need to make sure air is clean before being exhausted out somewhere outside of grow room.

Guys any idea how I am going to hook up my carbon filter to what I currently have going on, setup wise? Maybe I should draw a pic too to kinda help.
